I made it to the top 10 now just need to get people to rate my video compared to the others. I was the only one to use 3d that I created. Will be forever grateful for those that rate me 5*s. This 2.6ghz P4 isnt doing the job anymore when trying to model those high poly objects hah.

Sorry for the shameless plug.:poly122:

Are you obliged to put in that nonsense about ati?
because err... superior picture clarity... blowing away the competition? Not in my experience. I'm sad that ati isn't doing so well, because they're certainly nvidia's equal in many regards, but your video did nothing but irritate me with it's condescending marketing lingo.

i was almost tempted to make a "I love ATI Rage" making fun of the slow alpha-blending and slowness

shawnzer

Josh_Singh

Rob Galanakis

They have a really cool one with a music video and everything... I gave you 5 stars but his video was so cool.

shawnzer

thanks for rating. yeah i like the guys music video. catchy toon.

You've spelt Radeon wrong twice in the video, which might work against you in the competition stakes.

Aside from that it's pretty solid. The explosion seems a bit "sprite-y" if you get what I mean, but the general standard of work is good. You might wanna work on the anatomy of the guy on the bike a bit more, though, as at the moment he looks a bit comic-y, and maybe a touch too big on the bike, take a look at this picture to see what I mean:



Take a look at his size and positioning on the bike. With a few minor tweaks yours could look a lot more realistic and hence a lot better.

Good luck in the competition though!

It would help your case if the very first frame didn't have you misspelling "Radeon".

shawnzer

yup spelling Radeon wrong is what i get for doing the editing early into the morning before the deadline. but i got in to the final 10 so they much not have cared that much. I cant upload a revised video either, but im sure if I did happen to win they'd have me change it.

steviant:
Yeah the explosion was created with afterburn with transparent background and slapped over the other footage in after effects. Unforunatley I stumbled upon this contest in about the last week it was due, couldn't afford the rendering time to render both explosion and scene together on this pos computer.
